=head1 NAME
fixbb - repairs bounding boxes in postscript files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
fixbb []
=head1 DESCRIPTION
=over 2
I repairs the incorrect bounding box for postscipt files created by many
Windows applications. It uses bbfig to compute the bounding box, and then
fixes any existing bounding box that is in the file. (It currently doesn't
add a bounding box to postscript files that do not have it.)
This program requires that bbfig and ps2ascii are in your path. bbfig can be
found in the CTAN archive (e.g.
ftp://ftp.duke.edu/tex-archive/support/bbfig/). ps2ascii can be found in the
ghostscript distribution (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/)
bbfig fails half the time, and ps2ascii fails half the time, which means
this script will probably only work 1/4 the time. Please send patches that
make this script more robust. (Perhaps by using pstotext, ghostscript, or
some new PostScript module.)
=back
=head1 OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
The inputfile is mandatory.
I will output the repaired file to standard output if no outputfile is
specified.
